Nokia, the brand synonymous with durability and reliability, has once again made a statement. HMD Global, the official licensee for Nokia phones, has unveiled its latest offering: the Nokia G42 5G.
Positioned to bridge the gap between high-end specs and affordability, this device could be Nokia’s answer to the ever-growing Indian appetite for advanced yet budget-friendly smartphones.
Debuting on September 11, Nokia’s G42 5G is HMD Global’s newest addition to the 5G smartphone segment in India. Priced at Rs. 12,599 for the 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant, the device is set to hit the Amazon shelves on September 15.
Offered in shades of So Grey and So Purple, this device stands as a testimony to Nokia’s continued emphasis on affordability without compromising on features.
Before making its mark in India, the G42 5G was introduced to select European markets in June, carrying a price tag of EUR 199, translating to roughly Rs. 21,000 for the same variant.
Under its hood lies the robust octa-core Snapdragon 480+ SoC, ensuring smooth multitasking coupled with 6GB of RAM. Interestingly, this RAM can be virtually expanded to a massive 11GB.
Running on Android 13, Nokia ensures its users stay updated with a promise of two years of Android OS upgrades and monthly security patches for a subsequent three years.
A 6.56-inch HD+ LCD screen welcomes users with 720 x 1,612-pixel resolution, a swift 90Hz refresh rate, and an impressive 560 nits of peak brightness. Additionally, the Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection promises durability.
The handset also champions an IP52 rating, guaranteeing a certain level of resistance against dust and water.
In the photography department, the G42 5G does not disappoint. The triple rear camera setup boasts a 50MP primary shooter complemented by dual 2MP sensors. Selfie enthusiasts and video callers can benefit from the 8MP front camera.
Ensuring seamless connectivity, the G42 5G offers 5G, GPS, USB Type-C, Bluetooth 5.1, and Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax. An array of sensors including accelerometer, ambient light sensor, e-compass, and proximity sensor make the phone smart in true essence.
Further enhancing security, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor ensures only authorized access.
